A little seperation from the neo-rebirth in the possible 2007 thread...
1987 Garfield Cadets, Appalachian Spring...
Easily one of the most positively talked about and acclaimed shows in DCI's history.
Why do you love it so much?
Me? Yes this is corny and a little odd. However, watching this show makes me feel good. Have a bad day? Flip it on the DVD player and the mood immediately brightens. I feel as though every drum corps fan, member, judge etc... is required to watch it. It has an unfathomable explanation as to why this activity is good for the human mind and spirit. Hearing the first chord to the dissolving company front, the show is a spectacular celebration of all that is good in the world.
At least this is how I feel.

How is the volume for Phantom???
I'm wiping my forehead. Buy it
-
great listening to the difference between quarterfinals APDs and finals APDs
there's so much more energy on finals night
-
Jersey Surf and raiders have established themselves very strongly in the area of the north east, They're very financially stable with incredibly saavy directors and partners.
From what I've followed since I live on the East Coast, Jersey Surf probably has more people show up to their wintercamps than a lot of division 1 corps out there. They're building something incredible over there. Disregarding the scoring, and everything, they put out possibly one of the most solid Division II/III seasons.

Don't play.
I was rubbing my eyes watching that video after i came off tour. Rubbing my eyes cus, it was that clean.
2002 Cavaliers, no it wasn't the cleanest thing I've seen, the guard had quite a few drops finals night, it wasn't their strongest performance, a few phasing in the feet that became quite noticable.
-
List some moments that you consider almost surreal because of cleanliness, texture, design etc... anything...
1998 The Cadets - Company front enough said
2002 The Cavaliers - Frameworks, intonation during that ballad
2003 Blue Devils - The opening turn around fast note runs.
2006 Carolina Crown - The chord from the spookies.
The Ultima of them all 2005, The Cadets, Dreamscapes in Four Parts with a Door. Oh my god, I've never seen an overal package that clean at finals night
-
Whoa whoa this isn't physical. Robbing a Bank and Saying stuff are completely different. Statements and actions are quite different from eachother.
-
You know what I've noticed is that the Cadet's don't really have a championship consistency like other corps.
1985-1st
1986-4th
1987-1st
1989-5th
1990-1st
1991-6th
1998 - 1st
1999 - 4th
2000 - 1st
2004- 4th
2005 -1st
2006 -5th
they jump all over the place, no real "gradual" movement up or down. Just spots of years here and there dip and downs.
probably a lot of times, the most unpredictable championships, not during the season, but before.

we had one rule too. You didn't have to sleep, but you had to be quiet so others could sleep. however if you chose not to sleep you better not be dragging ### the next day.
when I marched in coats the staff had done some research and they found that the average person cycles through REM sleep every 3 hours so when we got into housing they would base our gym time on 3 hour blocks. so if we got in at midnight, they'd probably give us 6 hours of gym time. but if we got in at 3 in the morning then we would only get 3 hours of gym time.
really? that's pretty sweet info

I gotta hand it to the cadets, they certainly do have a consistency of great ballads.
-
Organizing Finals, warmup sites etc...unloading and everthing at Madison was hectic enough. This would be pretty hard to pull off at College venues.
-
2000 Cadets....
made me love drum corps
-
Just as an aside, the conspiracy theorists have missed out on the big one....
DCI relocates to Indy.
Home also of BOA.
Management of a Div. I DCI corps is handed over to a BOA power.
DCI remains silent.
BOA and USSBA have been married to consolidate power........
You get the rest.
Have fun b**bs
You realize that BOA and DCI share a majority of people in power. If not the BOA managers are very aware of the DCI entity.
Eventually I believe USSBA will grow beyond both soon, it offers an amazing number of events, great pay for judges, and excellent Venues all over the east coast for an incredibly cheap price, and very very qualified judges.

ditto, but as usualy a change in dci will result in quite a few angry people~~ :ramd:
:blah: ~~ <these fine icons here to the left certainly demonstrate some peoples feelings.btw ive mentioned this before.. what ever happened to the 110 member rule, or the minimum score of 75.00 to remain in div 1 that DCI was toying with?? im not possitive but i thought the 110 member rule was passed ..no??
although i voted as div 2/3 as an introduction to the drum corps experience... its a mix of drum corps being a minor league system and it being based on #'s. Div 1 corps have cadet corps (farm systems under the major organization). and there are some corps that have the #'s to play with the big boys but indeed intend on ruling div 2/3. either way, both ways work and theyre playing the game of DCI.
dont like it?? then either recruit, fundraise more..get better staff?! ..either or.. youve forgotten or simply ignored the initial intentions of the corps to introduce kids into the activity with a MODERATELY** competitive aspect.
thats all for now, adios
There are some division 1 corps that should not be in division 1.
-
I'm pretty sure every Div. II has a trailer and most, if not all, have a food truck (or something similar in it's place).
I believe Jersey Surf, Spartans, and Academy are the only ones

not if you are holding it correctly.
you SHOULD be holding it all with your left hand.. your right hand (actually not even your hand.. just your fingertips) rest on the valves, pushing them down. your right hand should not be holding the horn at all. but that goes the same for a euph, bari, sop,.. i mean.. trumpet.. mello..
one thing about carrying a horn, versus a cymbal (of course i never played cymbals, and yes id agree with what you said about them) but.. having all that weight in front of you, where you dont move your arms at all.. really builds up the lactic acid... and that makes it even worse.
Yep,
Holding a Euph is a #####, no lie, you hold it with your left hand, your right hand only presses the valves. If you try to hold it with both, you won't get correct pressure on the valves at correct angles.
I think during wintercamps in drum corps, or sectionals, the euphonium is possibly the most painful to hold.
-
Does anyone know the story of how that corps rose from a low 6th place mid season to 2nd and winner of GE?
I don't think I've ever seen something like that happen in the post 83 Garfield era
-
I wouldn't show Cavaliers 2002 because it opens up a little too slow.
I would show that video of cool Dci drill on google
But if it's a show that people should see in general, possibly it'll have to be 2000 Cadets.
-
I can't grasp a reason for this but... I think it's very very important for Drum Corps fans to Watch 1987 Garfield Cadets' Appalachian Spring.
-
What about the opera from Final Fantasy VI? :)Never heard it, but if it's Uematsu's work, chances are that it's awesome.
You would never think that this piece was out of a video game. It literally sounds like it was recorded from a professional classical opera.
No joke.
-
Does anyone know of any chorales that would make really nice ballads?
-
Blue Devils - Godfather Statements
Carolina Crown - The big hit after the turn arounds. Whoohoo!!!
The Cadets - Trumpet lick in White Rabbit, zone tag
Phantom Regiment - That entire SHOW!!!! WHOA!!!
-
Absolutely one fantastic hornline.
